Internships
Bruegel offers a range of internship opportunities to current and recent students at both the undergraduate and graduate level. These internships are designed to give individuals the opportunity for practical experience in an environment that successfully mixes academic study with public policy. Bruegel is a small and flexible organisation and interns will have the opportunity to make a real impact. Availability of positions generally corresponds to the beginning of the autumn, spring and summer terms, but appointments are made throughout the year for periods of varying length.
There are three types of internships: communications internships, operational internships and research internships.
Communications internships include but are not limited to: press outreach, media analysis, and website maintenance, as well as supporting the communications team in the promotion of Bruegel publications and other output.
Operational internships include but are not limited to: event support and assistance; database management; and other administrative tasks.
Research internships are limited to those with a background in economics. Recent Masters graduates or Masters/PhD students in Economics who are interested in applied, policy-oriented research are welcome to apply.
All interns will have the opportunity to be in contact with top researchers in their field of expertise, as well as the chance to attend all Bruegel events, which are normally not open to the public.
There may be a small stipend available for interns. Applications for all internships are accepted on a rolling basis. If interested, please send your CV and a cover letter indicating your desired term and position to this e-mail.
